From 1959 to 1974, she was half of the popular folk duo Ian & Sylvia with Ian Tyson.^[4][5] The two met after a friend of Ian Tyson's heard her sing at a party and let Ian know about her; Ian had been performing in Toronto clubs as a solo artist, but after he and Sylvia met, they decided to work together as a duo.^[6] From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, she and Ian Tyson also fronted the country rock band Great Speckled Bird. Since 1993, she has been a member of the all-female folk group Quartette.

Perhaps her best-known song was "You Were on My Mind", which was originally recorded by Ian & Sylvia in 1964. Sylvia wrote it in 1962, and has said it was the first song she wrote.^[7] The song became a popular hit single in the mid-1960s for the San Francisco-based folk-rock bandWe Five and also for the British pop singer Crispian St. Peters. It has become a rock and roll standard which has been covered numerous times.

She married Ian Tyson on June 26, 1964;^[8] the two were divorced in 1975.^[9] During their marriage, they had one child, Clayton Dawson (Clay) Tyson.^[10][11]
